Leeds United morning round-up: Early team news; Rosler singles out Cook for praise

Leeds United take on MK Dons at Stadium MK this afternoon as Uwe Rosler’s side look to get back to winning ways after losing 1-0 to Ipswich Town last time out.

That was Leeds’ first Championship defeat of the season and Rosler will be hoping it is their last for quite some time.

Leeds are currently 14th in the league with eight points from their first seven matches, while the Dons are two places and one point worse off than today’s opponents.

In early team news, the BBC reports that recent Leeds signing Jordan Botaka could make his eagerly anticipated debut while Mirco Antenucci is hoping to keep his place alongside summer signing Chris Wood up front.

As for MK Dons, they are without the injured Mark Randall, Darren Potter and Cody Cropper.
